The first character of an identifier has to be a letter. 1.2 Comments Lucifer supports both multi-line and single-line comments. Comments are ig- nored by parser. Single-line comment starts with double backslash //. int r = 1; // r is radius of a circle Multi-line comment are enclosed by /* and */. float x = 2.91; /* This is a multi line comment */ 1.3 Separators Separators separate tokens. Lucifer accepts () f g [];,. as separa- tors. Example of separator usage int x = (1 + 2) * (2 + 3); x + 1; 1.4 White Space White Space characters are separator that are discarded during parsing. Valid white space characters include space characters and newline characters. Tab characters are invalid. 1.5 Reserved Keywords return if elif else 4 noelse for while int bool true false float void char string class new extends fun Entity Player runGame Lucifer also accepts the predefined SDL Scancodes as keywords. They can be looked up in https://wiki.libsdl.org/SDLScancodeLookup 2 Primitive types Lucifer supports four primitive types of objects: integers, character literals, single-precision floating point numbers and booleans. 2.1 Integer Integer has 4 bytes.The 32-bit int data type can hold integer values in the range of -2,147,483,648 to 2,147,483,647. Here is an example to declare and define integer variable. int a = 1; 2.2 Float Float has 8 bytes.Float data type has size ranges from 1e-37 to 1e37. 5 An example to declare and define float variable is float foo = 3.14; 2.3 Char Char has 1 byte and it can be any ASCII characters. 2.4 Boolean Boolean has 1 byte. It is a binary data type with either true or false value. Boolean values are represented by the reserved keyword true and false. 3 Literals Lucifer supports integer literals, float literals, char literals and bool literals. 3.1 Integer Literals An integer literals is a sequence of decimal digits. The regular expression for integer literal is [0-9]+ Examples of integer literals are 72 0 1327 The context free grammar for integer literal in the parser is: expr: LITERAL 3.2 Float Literals A float Literal consists of an integer part, a decimal point, a fraction part, an e and an optionally signed integer exponent. The regular expression representing the float literal is ((([0-9]+[n.][0-9]*)|([n.][0-9]+))(([e][+-]?[0-9]+)?))|([0-9]+[e][+-]?[0-9]+) Examples of float literals are 6 0.5e+15 8.3 1. 13e9 The context free grammar for float literal in the parser is: expr: FLIT 3.3 Bool Literals A bool literal is represented by keywords true and false. The context free grammar for bool literal in the parser is: expr: BLIT 3.4 Char Literals A char literal is a sequence of ASCII characters enclosed by double quotation characters (" "). If the char literal content contains any double quotation char- acters, the character should be preceded by the escape character n. The regular expression for string literals is "([^"nn]|nn.)*" Example of char literals are "Hello World!" "foo" "barn"baz" "abc345@#&" The context free grammar for char literal in the parser is: expr: CLIT 4 Arrays Arrays in Lucifer are indexed collections of values. Lucifer supports array literals containing primitive types and other arrays. Syntax for initializing an array is as follows: <valtype> [] <arrayid> = new <valtype>[<arrsize>] 7 Where <valtype> is either a <type> as seen in 3.5.1, an array type, a <parent> class name(Entity or Player), or an extended class identifier. <arrayid> is the unique identifier for the array, and <arrsize> is an integer literal that represents the size of the array. 1. Values in arrays can be accessed and overwritten. Brackets indicate and access to array elements: Syntax: <arrid> [<index>] where <arrid> is the unique identifier for the array and <index> is some expression that evaluates to an in- teger. For multidimensional arrays, additional brackets would be used to access values of nested arrays. <arrid> [<index1>][<index2>] arr[0] //access to element at index 0 in array arr arr[0][1] //access to element at index 1 in array element arr[0] 5 Expressions 5.1 Primary Expressions Primary expressions involving '.' and function calls group left to right. Expressions include the following: 1. Literals, whose grammar rules are described in 3.1 2. Identifiers, who have the token ID 5.2 Precedence of Operators Operators in Lucifer follow rules of precedence and associativity that determine the order in which expressions will be evaluated. Table 2 lists each operator and indicates the precedence and associativity of each. Table 3 shows some simple examples of precedence and associativity. Parentheses can be used to override these rules. The list below shows the grammar rules for operator expressions: expr: 8 expr + expr expr - expr expr * expr expr / expr expr % expr expr == expr expr != expr expr <= expr expr > expr expr >= expr expr && expr expr || expr -expr !expr Tokens (From High Operators Associativity to Low Priority) !- Unary negation R-L */% Multiplicative L-R + - Additive L-R < <= > >= Relational comparisons L-R == != Equality comparisons L-R && Logical AND L-R || Logical OR L-R = Assignment R-L , Comma L-R Table 1: Operator Precedence and Associativity 5.2.1 Expressions formed from function calls func-call-expr: identifier.(actualparams-list) 9 Expression Results Comments Multiplication is done before di- 3 + 2 * 5 13 vision Same order as before, but paren- 3 + (2 * 5) 13 theses provide clarification Parentheses override (3 + 2) * 5 25 the precedence rules Logical AND has higher true || true && false true priority than logical OR Same order as before, but true || (true && false true parenthesis provide clarification Parentheses override (true || true) && false false the precedence rules Table 2: Precedence and Associativity Examples 5.2.2 Expressions formed from object function calls obj-func-call-expr: identifier.expression(actualparams-list) 5.2.3 Expressions formed from array accesses arr-access-expr: expression [ expression ] 5.3 Statements 5.4 Declarations Syntax for declaring variables takes the following form: <type> <identifier> ; where a <type> is any of the following: type: int bool float char Rules for function declarations can be found in Section 8.1 10 5.4.1 Assignments Primitive Variable Assignment syntax: <type> <varidentifer> = <expression>; where the left side of the statement is the variable's type and identifier and the right hand side is an expression. 5.4.2 Object Instantiations Object Instantiations take the following form: <objtyp> <objidentifier> = new <objtyp> (args opt); Where <objtyp> is either the identifier of an extended class , or the keyword name of a built-in class (Entity, Player), <objidentifier> is the identifier for the object, new is the keyword for instantiation, and args opt is an optional list of actual parameters that the constructor takes. 5.4.3 Blocks and Control Flow If statements, While Statements, For Statements, and the runGame() statement are all considered statements in Lucifer. Their rules and syntax can be found in Section 7. 6 Operators 6.1 Arithmetic Operators Lucifer supports standard two-operands arithmetic operations: addition, sub- traction, multiplication, division, and modulo.

  • C Constants and Literals Integer Literals Floating-Point Literals
    C Constants and Literals The constants refer to fixed values that the program may not alter during its execution. These fixed values are also called literals. Constants can be of any of the basic data types like an integer constant, a floating constant, a character constant, or a string literal. There are also enumeration constants as well. The constants are treated just like regular variables except that their values cannot be modified after their definition. Integer literals An integer literal can be a decimal, octal, or hexadecimal constant. A prefix specifies the base or radix: 0x or 0X for hexadecimal, 0 for octal, and nothing for decimal. An integer literal can also have a suffix that is a combination of U and L, for unsigned and long, respectively. The suffix can be uppercase or lowercase and can be in any order. Here are some examples of integer literals: Floating-point literals A floating-point literal has an integer part, a decimal point, a fractional part, and an exponent part. You can represent floating point literals either in decimal form or exponential form. While representing using decimal form, you must include the decimal point, the exponent, or both and while representing using exponential form, you must include the integer part, the fractional part, or both. The signed exponent is introduced by e or E. Here are some examples of floating-point literals: 1 | P a g e Character constants Character literals are enclosed in single quotes, e.g., 'x' and can be stored in a simple variable of char type. A character literal can be a plain character (e.g., 'x'), an escape sequence (e.g., '\t'), or a universal character (e.g., '\u02C0').

  • PYTHON NOTES What Is Python?
    PYTHON NOTES What is Python? Python is a popular programming language. It was created in 1991 by Guido van Rossum. It is used for: web development (server-side), software development, mathematics, system scripting. What can Python do? Python can be used on a server to create web applications. Python can connect to database systems. It can also read and modify files. Python can be used to handle big data and perform complex mathematics. Python can be used for production-ready software development. Why Python? Python works on different platforms (Windows, Mac, Linux, Raspberry Pi, etc). Python has a simple syntax similar to the English language. Python has syntax that allows developers to write programs with fewer lines than some other programming languages. Python runs on an interpreter system, meaning that code can be executed as soon as it is written. This means that prototyping can be very quick. Good to know The most recent major version of Python is Python 3, which we shall be using in this tutorial. However, Python 2, although not being updated with anything other than security updates, is still quite popular. Python Syntax compared to other programming languages Python was designed to for readability, and has some similarities to the English language with influence from mathematics. Python uses new lines to complete a command, as opposed to other programming languages which often use semicolons or parentheses. Python relies on indentation, using whitespace, to define scope; such as the scope of loops, functions and classes. Other programming languages often use curly-brackets for this purpose. Python Install Many PCs and Macs will have python already installed.

  • Variables and Calculations
    ¡ ¢ £ ¤ ¥ ¢ ¤ ¦ § ¨ © © § ¦ © § © ¦ £ £ © § ! 3 VARIABLES AND CALCULATIONS Now you’re ready to learn your first ele- ments of Python and start learning how to solve programming problems. Although programming languages have myriad features, the core parts of any programming language are the instructions that perform numerical calculations. In this chapter, we’ll explore how math is performed in Python programs and learn how to solve some prob- lems using only mathematical operations. ¡ ¢ £ ¤ ¥ ¢ ¤ ¦ § ¨ © © § ¦ © § © ¦ £ £ © § ! Sample Program Let’s start by looking at a very simple problem and its Python solution. PROBLEM: THE TOTAL COST OF TOOTHPASTE A store sells toothpaste at $1.76 per tube. Sales tax is 8 percent. For a user-specified number of tubes, display the cost of the toothpaste, showing the subtotal, sales tax, and total, including tax. First I’ll show you a program that solves this problem: toothpaste.py tube_count = int(input("How many tubes to buy: ")) toothpaste_cost = 1.76 subtotal = toothpaste_cost * tube_count sales_tax_rate = 0.08 sales_tax = subtotal * sales_tax_rate total = subtotal + sales_tax print("Toothpaste subtotal: $", subtotal, sep = "") print("Tax: $", sales_tax, sep = "") print("Total is $", total, " including tax.", sep = ") Parts of this program may make intuitive sense to you already; you know how you would answer the question using a calculator and a scratch pad, so you know that the program must be doing something similar. Over the next few pages, you’ll learn exactly what’s going on in these lines of code. For now, enter this program into your Python editor exactly as shown and save it with the required .py extension. Run the program several times with different responses to the question to verify that the program works.

  • Regular Expressions the Following Are Sections of Different Programming Language Specifications
    Regular Expressions The following are sections of different programming language specifications. Write the corresponding regular expressions for each of the described lexical elements. 1) C Identifiers [Kernighan] An identifier is a sequence of letters and digits. The first character must be a letter; the underscore _ is considered a letter. Uppercase and lowercase letters are considered different. 2) Java 6 and previous Integer Literals [Gosling] An integer literal may be expressed in decimal (base 10), hexadecimal (base 16), or octal (base 8). An integer literal is of type long if it is suffixed with an ASCII letter L or l (ell); otherwise it is of type int. The suffix L is preferred, because the letter l (ell) is often hard to distinguish from the digit 1 (one). A decimal numeral is either the single ASCII character 0, representing the integer zero, or consists of an ASCII digit from 1 to 9, optionally followed by one or more ASCII digits from 0 to 9, representing a positive integer. An hexadecimal numeral consists of the leading ASCII characters 0x or 0X followed by one or more ASCII hexadecimal digits and can represent a positive, zero, or negative integer. Hexadecimal digits with values 10 through 15 are represented by the ASCII letters a through f or A through F, respectively; each letter used as a hexadecimal digit may be uppercase or lowercase. An octal numeral consists of an ASCII digit 0 followed by one or more of the ASCII digits 0 through 7 and can represent a positive, zero, or negative integer. Note that octal numerals always consist of two or more digits; 0 is always considered to be a decimal numeral-not that it matters much in practice, for the numerals 0, 00, and 0x0 all represent exactly the same integer value.

  • C Language O Level / a Level
    Programming and Problem Solving through C Language O Level / A Level Chapter -3 : Introduction to ‘C’ Language Constants and Literals Like a variable, a constant is a data storage location used by the users program. Unlike a variable, the value stored in a constant can′t be changed during program execution. C has two types of constants, each with its own specific uses. o Literal Constants o Symbolic Constants Literal Constants 0 and ‘R’ are the examples for literal constant: int count = 20; char name= ‘R’; Symbolic Constants A symbolic constant is a constant that is represented by a name (symbol) in the program. 1. To define a symbolic constant , #define directive is used as follows: #define CONSTNAME literal For example #define PI 3.14159 Area = PI * (radius) * (radius); 2. To define a symbolic constant , Using const keyword. const int PI 3.14159 ; Area = PI * (radius) * (radius); #include <stdio.h> #define LENGTH 10 #define WIDTH 5 #define NEWLINE '\n' void main() { int area; area = LENGTH * WIDTH; printf("value of area : %d", area); printf("%c", NEWLINE); } Literals The constants refer to fixed values that the program may not alter during its execution. These fixed values are also called literals. Constants can be of any of the basic data types like o an integer constant, o a floating constant, o a character constant, or o a string literal. There are also enumeration constants as well. Integer literals An integer literal can be a decimal, octal, or hexadecimal constant. A prefix specifies the base or radix: 0x or 0X for hexadecimal, 0 for octal, and nothing for decimal.

  • CS 1622: Lexical Analysis Lexical Analysis Tokens Why Tokens
    9/5/2012 Lexical Analysis Problem: Want to break input into meaningful units of information Input: a string of characters CS 1622: Output: a set of partitions of the input string (tokens) Example: Lexical Analysis if(x==y) { z=1; } else { z=0; } Jonathan Misurda “if(x==y){\n\tz=1;\n} else {\n\tz=0;\n}” [email protected] Tokens Why Tokens? Token: A sequence of characters that can be treated as a single local entity. We need to classify substrings of our source according to their role. Tokens in English: Since a parser takes a list of tokens as inputs, the parser relies on token • noun, verb, adjective, ... distinctions: • For example, a keyword is treated differently than an identifier Tokens in a programming language: • identifier, integer, keyword, whitespace, ... Tokens correspond to sets of strings: • Identifier: strings of letters and digits, starting with a letter • Integer: a non-empty string of digits • Keyword: “else”, “if”, “while”, ... • Whitespace: a non-empty sequence of blanks, newlines, and tabs Design of a Lexer Lexer Implementation 1. Define a finite set of tokens An implementation must do two things: • Describe all items of interest 1. Recognize substrings corresponding to tokens • Depend on language, design of parser 2. Return the value or lexeme of the token recall “if(x==y){\n\tz=1;\n} else {\n\tz=0;\n}” A token is a tuple (type, lexeme): • Keyword, identifier, integer, whitespace “if(x==y){\n\tz=1;\n} else {\n\tz=0;\n}” • Should “==” be one token or two tokens? • Identifier: (id, ‘x’), (id, ‘y’), (id, ‘z’) • Keywords: if, else 2.
